Question

Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

I should like to comment briefly on the amendments proposed by the Soviet delegation. The language of these amendments has been dressed up somewhat, but the substance is the same as the amendments which were offered by the Soviet delegation in committee and rejected after exhaustive discussion. Substantially the same amendments have been previously considered and rejected in the Human Rights Commission. . . .

I feel bound to say that I think perhaps it is somewhat of an imposition on this Assembly to have these amendments offered again here, and I am confident that they will be rejected without debate.

What is the purpose of the passage?

to encourage the UN General Assembly to refuse to discuss the suggested changes
to express doubt that the General Assembly will give suggested changes the attention they deserve
to express frustration that the General Assembly keeps rejecting the Soviet delegation’s suggestions
to teach the history of the General Assembly’s addition of amendments to the UDHR
